As Veterans Day approaches on November 11th, it is important to review how our bargaining agreement protects your time around paid and legal holidays. The Osceola County Education Association ensures that educators can enjoy their hard-earned holiday breaks without extra duty requirements.
Section 6.03 of our collective bargaining agreement outlines specific rules regarding early departures before holidays and regular working hours.
Section 6.03
Teachers will be free to leave on the day preceding paid holidays and legal holidays appearing in the school calendar at the close of the pupil day, except those teachers who have assignments beyond the dismissal of pupils. Any teacher required to stay beyond the dismissal of pupils will be allowed to leave at the close of the pupil day on a succeeding day. No teacher will be required to stay beyond the regular working day. For a listing of holidays, refer to the Osceola County Schools official calendar. (08/21/01)
For the complete schedule of legal and paid holidays, please consult the official Osceola County Schools calendar. If you have questions about how these provisions apply to your site schedule, contact your OCEA building representative or visit www.osceolacea.org.
